Following the success of the first ever Devonshire Food Festival, held in the Yorkshire’s Devonshire Arms House Hotel and Spa, the event makes its return during November.
Running from Monday 19 to Sunday 25 November, top Michelin-starred chefs from around the UK are prepped and ready to compete in a series of head-to-head events which will be judged by 50 diners.
Chefs will cook a starter, main and dessert and the guests select their favourite – the one with the most orders wins.
Cook-offs run daily throughout the festival with Monday’s lunchtime events between Steve Smith and Mark Poynton; Tuesday pits Alan Hill against Rakesh Ravindran; Wednesday will be Oliver Adams and Anthony Flinn; Thursday features Dan Birk and Tom Rennolds; Friday is between Tim Bilton and Dan Smith and Sunday’s finale sees Dan Field face-off against Paul Cunliffe.
